Trail Overview
This trail begins as a wide gravel road that passes several residences near the starting point. As the trail continues, it gradually narrows and becomes noticeably rougher. Despite its proximity to homes, the surface is often muddy, with sections of loose gravel, embedded rocks, and standing puddles. The route winds past a scenic lake, offering a brief glimpse of the water before continuing toward a large open clearing. In this area, the surface transitions to sand, and a rough, overgrown track continues into the forest beyond. At the end of the main trail, there is public access to the lake with a large parking area, and a designated snowmobile trail begins nearby. While the trail is suitable for a short off-road excursion, it does not provide any formal or dispersed camping opportunities. There are no available amenities such as trash disposal or potable water, and cell service may be limited or unavailable depending on location.
